When Elle started sneezing a few days ago, she first looked for X so she could complain to someone about it, and then went up to her room with the plan to lock herself in until she was feeling better.

Anna of Arendelle, however, has very different feelings on locked doors.

So despite her sniffles, Anna prances down the stairs. Her hair (yellow hair! That's strange, but Anna doesn't think on it too much) is braided, and she's pulled on a long-sleeved, blue dress, perfect for the cold weather outside this place.

And this place! It's full of people! It's totally strange!

Which – certainly the totally normal thing to do when walking into a bar full of people is to sing (yes, sing) out, "Does someone want to build a snowman?"

It's immediately punctuated by another sneeze.

"Snowman?"

Korra, immune to certain viruses because Debi's never seen anything with Janet Varney she got lucky with genetics, perks up from her position on am armchair. (Lying upside down, boots on the back, hair trailing on the floor, messing around with the fire in the grate.

"I'll build a Snowman with you!"

[ellectrical]

"Really?"

She is so excited that she practically skips over to Korra's chair. And then tilts her head to match Korra's upside-down position.

[gottadealwithit]

Korra grins up at her, and flicks her wrist, causing the fire to flare up the chimney once and then settle down to its not-being-bended neutral state.

Then she rolls her feet over her head and stands up.

"Sure! Snowmen are awesome. Outside?"

[ellectrical]

Anna looks to the fireplace.

"I - ohuh - yes -"

But maybe because the thought seems oddly familiar, "Howwww would you make it inside?"

[gottadealwithit]

Korra, already heading towards the door, looks over at Anna and grins.

"Waterbending! But it'd still need a lot of ice, and that's easy to get outside."

[ellectrical]

Anna follows her without hesitation (or even, really, eagerly), but still asks -

"Water-what now?"

[gottadealwithit]

"Bending."

As they break out into the snow-covered outside, Korra slows to a stop a little way from the door. Slipping into a waterbending stances without even thinking of it, she scoops up a soft ball of snow from fifteen feet and sends it flying towards Anna.

"DID SOMEBODY SAY SNOWMAN?"

That comes from a pink pony who's happily skating on the frozen lake nearby.

[ellectrical]

"Oh!"

Anna practically jumps through the snow-covered grounds toward the lake. "I did!"

[havetubawilltravel]

And Pinkie appears right in front of Anna - completely out of the blue!

Sorry, Anna, it's a Pinkie thing.

"How big do you want to make him!? Should he have boots or shoes?!" Snowman making remains serious business.

[ellectrical]

Anna does take a step back when Pinkie appears, her skirt flittering around her. But it's all instinct - her delight hasn't ruffled.

"I think he'd need boots out here," she points out, taking the serious business seriously.

[havetubawilltravel]

Pinkie's enthusiasm hasn't waned, either; she never quite notices when she's stepped over the line and gotten too enthusiastic. She's started rolling up a ball of snow, using her snout for leverage. Fortunately, she has a pair of boots in her pack and pauses to take them out.

They're enormous and rainbow-colored, and Pinkie can juuust about haul them out oui into the air, but she manages to do so. "How about these?"

[ellectrical]

"Wow."

She leans down slightly to get a good look at them. Then - "They're really cute."

It's going to be one well-dressed snowman.

[cutting_edgex23]

X blinks.

Twice.

Then her nostrils flare, scenting the air. This is -- strange.

"Elle?"

[ellectrical]

Maybe it's X's voice, or that she can feel her (even if she's not sure how), but Anna turns at the unfamiliar name.

Very delighted, "Hi X!"

And then she hugs her. Because.

[cutting_edgex23]

X freezes, in the awkward way of someone who is not sure what to do next, and hopes that the hug was not spurred by tragedy or bad feelings.

Eventually she hugs back -- too-careful and deliberate, of course, but still --

"Hello."

Beat.

"You are okay?"

[ellectrical]

Anna doesn't hold her for very long, at least.

"Yeah, I'm -"

But before she can finish this, she sneezes again.

[cutting_edgex23]

X frowns, just a little.

"You are sick?"

The sneeze kind of gave it away.

Unless the bar is particularly dusty today.

(Did someone stake a vampire nearby?)

[ellectrical]

"Oh, it's just a cough now." Anna waves dismissively, before reaching out to X's shoulder.

"Come on, let's go outside, I was alone in that room upstairs for ages."

[doctorscaryteeth]

((OOC: Am I too late? I meant to tag yesterday but I was too busy!))

Thurlow considers this. It was always fun when they were a child, and they could use something fun and lighthearted after coming in from The Incident With The Spiders in their own world.

"Why not. I'll build a snowman with you; I might even sing about it."

[ellectrical]

"Oh you should totally sing about it!"

Because breaking into song is a very normal response to just about every situation. (Well, for Anna, anyway.)

She waves them toward the door. "Come on, let's go!"

[doctorscaryteeth]

Thurlow stands up and walks outside with Anna/Elle. You know what's nice about Milliways? The snow is just frozen water, not... mysterious stuff that reeks of ammonia.

[ellectrical]

She moves deftly through the snow, blissfully unaware of places where mysterious, ammonia-smelling stuff exists.

She's already starting to pack together snow when she finally thinks to say, "Oh, I'm Anna."

[doctorscaryteeth]

"Pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm Doctor Thurlow." They start rolling a snowball.

[ellectrical]

"Oh, uh - pleased to make your acquaintance, too!"

She even pauses in packing snow long enough to do something like a little curtsy - she could probably stand to act a little more princess-like.

"And thanks so much for doing this with me, I -"

Anna sneezes again, but picks up quickly, "- I haven't gotten to do it in ages."
